The seventh stage is signless with effort, and hence not yet tranquil; the eighth stage is signless and effortless, and hence tranquil; being tranquil, it is pure. Alternatively, signless is the eighth stage, tranquil is the ninth stage, and pure refers to the tenth stage; because in the tenth stage, among the two obscurations of afflictions and of the knowable, the habitual propensities and entanglements of the affliction-obscuration are completely exhausted, it is called pure. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.115](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1818.1.115) - [Next: 1.117](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1818.1.117) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1818.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1818~en-mt.1.116) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1818.1.116](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1818.1.116) · Pramāṇa
